Canadian star Alphonso Davies has reportedly been stopped for driving under the influence just days before Bayern Munich’s pivotal Der Klassiker clash with Borussia Dortmund.
According to German media outlet Bild, police intercepted the Bayern Munich defender in the early hours of the morning on suspicion of drunk driving.
The Incident
- Officers reportedly pulled over the 23-year-old after suspecting he could be a danger on the road.
- A breathalyser test revealed Davies had a blood alcohol level of 0.6 grams per litre of exhaled air, exceeding legal limits in Germany.
- Despite testing positive, Davies retained his driving licence at the time of the stop.
Potential Legal Consequences
Dr. Gennaro Festa, a criminal lawyer consulted by Bild, outlined the potential repercussions for Davies:
- A €500 fine
- A one-month suspension of his driving licence
No further legal penalties are expected unless aggravating circumstances emerge.
Bayern’s Response Pending
Bayern Munich has yet to comment publicly on the incident, leaving fans to speculate whether the club will impose any internal sanctions on the Canadian international.
As Davies is a key figure in Bayern’s lineup, his potential involvement in the high-stakes clash with Borussia Dortmund could come under scrutiny.
The Impact on Der Klassiker
The timing of the incident is less than ideal, as Bayern faces Dortmund in Germany’s most-watched football fixture, with both clubs vying for top Bundesliga standings.
Davies has been a crucial asset for the Bavarian side, known for his pace, defensive reliability, and attacking contributions down the left flank.
Bayern fans will hope the off-field issue does not overshadow his preparations or lead to any disciplinary action affecting his availability for the match.
Stay tuned for updates on Bayern Munich’s response and whether the incident will impact Davies’ immediate future at the club.
